- EXOSAT Master Observation List
- Short Name:
- EXOSAT

- Publisher:
- NASA/GSFC HEASARC
- Description:
- The EXOMASTER database contains the EXOSAT observation log. This is a complete list of all EXOSAT observations, observing modes, and principal investigators. The log can be used to find out which targets were observed by EXOSAT, who observed them and the observation configuration. In addition this database can also be used to check the availability of the FOT (Final Observation Tape) files (the original raw data files) and their reformatted FITS files. This database table was originally created in September/October, 1997. The HEASARC revised this database table in August, 2006, in order to fix the equatorial coordinates (which were in the wrong equinox) and to rename or convert some of the time-related fields to better conform with current HEASARC practices. This is a service provided by NASA HEASARC .

- EXOSAT/ME Galactic Plane Survey
- Short Name:
- EXOSAT/Plane
- Date:

- Publisher:
- NASA/GSFC HEASARC
- Description:
- This catalog is based on information contained in Warwick et al (1988), MNRAS, 232, 551. The distribution of 2-6 keV x-ray emission in the galactic plane in the first and fourth galactic quadrants has been measured in a series of scanning observations with the medium-energy progportional counters on EXOSAT. The results are presented as contour maps and in the form of a catalogue of 70 discrete sources. Additional references can be found under the reference parameter. Additional information can be obtained upon request from the HEASARC. This is a service provided by NASA HEASARC .

- EXOSAT ME Slew Catalog
- Short Name:
- EXOSAT/Slew

- NASA/GSFC HEASARC
- Description:
- This is the first online version of the EXMS catalog. It contains information on the 1210 sources detected by EXOSAT during slew manoevers between 1983 and 1986. Each detection was obtained by searching for excesses above the background level in the light curve, fitted with the expected triangular profile due to the source passing from one side of the collimator to the other. These light curves are available for inspection from the xray account at ESTEC/ESA (telnet :://xray@exosat.estec.esa.nl). The detection time, raw 1-8 keV count rate and position (based on the centroid of the uncertainty region) are given for all 1210 entries. 80% of entries have proposed single identifications, obtained by cross-correlation of the uncertainty region against other catalogs. For these sources, the count rates are also supplied after correction for collimator efficiency, normalised to counts/sec/half, where "half" refers to one half of the ME detector array. This ensures consistency with the entries in the ME database. Coordinates of the proposed counterpart are also given, together with object type. The remaining sources consist of cases where more than one plausible candidate lay within the uncertainty region or where no candidate could be found. For these cases, only raw count rates are supplied. This database is a modified copy of the exms databases available from ESTEC/ESA. It was re-built by the HEASARC in July 1999.

- Description:
- The EXOSAT Medium Energy experiment (ME) was an array of eight proportional counters with a total geometric area of 1600 cm<sup>2</sup>. The field of view was square and 0.75 degrees x 0.75 degrees FWHM on each side. Each proportional counter consisted of an argon chamber on top of a xenon chamber separated by a 1.5 mm beryllium window. The fractional energy resolution, dE/E, was 21(E/6 keV)<sup>-0.5</sup> percent FWHM for the argon chambers. The output from each chamber was pulse height analyzed into 128 channels with the argon chambers sensitive from 1-20 keV and the xenon from 5-50 keV. To optimize the background subtraction, each half of the detector array was alternately offset to a source-free region of sky to monitor the particle background. Only results from the argon detectors are included in the EXOSAT ME database. The high count rates given by the ME required OBC (on board computer) programs to compress the data prior to their being telemetered. Depending on the objective of the observation the OBC programs traded time resolution against spectral information. Depending on the telemetry load, and the OBC programs running for the other two experiments, two or three ME programs could be run simultaneously. The spectral orientated programs gave spectra plus intensity profiles. The timing programs gave purely intensity profile data with in some cases selectable channels. The highest time resolution possible for a single selectable energy band was 0.2 ms. The products available within this database has been created using the data sampled by the spectral orientated OBC programs. This is a service provided by NASA HEASARC .

- EXOSAT Observation Log
- Short Name:
- VI/43
- Date:

- Publisher:
- CDS
- Description:
- The EXOSAT Observation Log lists archival information on 2108 pointed observations made with the EXOSAT between May 1983 and April 1986. Data listed include start and stop times, instrumental pointings, object names, proposal identifications, principal investigator codes, and observing instruments and modes of observation. The log is intended as a reference to the data collected during the EXOSAT mission and provides the summary information necessary to determine what observations, if any, may be of interest in an investigation.

- This database table contains the EXOSAT observation log. This is a complete list of all EXOSAT observations, observing modes, and principal investigators. The log can be used to find out which targets were observed by EXOSAT, who observed them, and the current state of the data analysis. The HEASARC revised this database table in August, 2005, in an effort to modernize its parameter names and add Galactic coordinates. This is a service provided by NASA HEASARC .

- EXOSAT TGS L and R Orders
- Short Name:
- TGS
- Date:

- Publisher:
- NASA/GSFC HEASARC
- Description:
- Spectra obtained using the EXOSAT transmission grating spectrometer, TGS. There are two databases TGS and TGS2 as follows: <pre> * TGS - the grating spectra averaged over the positive and negative orders * TGS2 - the postive and negative orders kept separate </pre> TGS provides a better overview of the spectrum, and is quicker to use with a spectral fitting program. This is the default that most users will want to use. Once a user has become more expert and wants to see, for example, if a subtle feature is present in both halves of the grating spectra, the user can access TGS2. This is a service provided by NASA HEASARC .
